Sen. Marco Rubio is facing intense pressure to run for re-election to his Florida Senate seat, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell taking the lead in a campaign to get him to reconsider his plans to retire.
Republicans fear that if Rubio doesnt run for a second term they could lose his seat. And if Republicans lose Florida they increase their odds of losing their Senate majority altogether. [
]
At least one Republican, Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, subsequently took the unusual step of issuing a public statement calling Rubio a very valuable member of the Senate and disclosing that earlier this afternoon, I strongly encouraged him to reconsider his decision and seek re-election.

I am a Florida voter who voted for young Marco.
He lied to me when he said he was against amnesty.
I do not care for LIARS.

I voted for Rubio as well, he lied to us about amnesty and quite frankly I don’t want to even vote for him again, but depending on who runs against him, I’d rather have him, than some retarded libtard Democrat...
Hopefully, this guy from Bradenton gets some traction for his run for the Senate...
I like what he’s saying

The problem is his name is associated with things like amnesty, lying, traitorous behavior, backstabbing, laziness, etc. And "Little Marco". I'm not sure how he lives that one down.
To: Popman
After McCain, Dole, Mitt, Etc. I refuse to vote any more for the lesser of two evils.
Either a true conservative or go fish.

The only way you are going to win a large nu of the Latino vote is to give them money anything else is naivete. Are you willing to pay the taxes to do so?

Sounds like you need to be more positive and hopeful,sounding like a drag,sort of how Mark Levin sounds,and why people turn his butt off anymore. Jeez how do you face the day thinking that everything is impossible? The Pioneer spirit is alive and well,but not in your world. Find something on YouTube that makes you smile,dog,cat,kid videos fast...

sorry but when you flood the country with Democrats dead and alive the results are predictable. Somebody needs to stand up and fight these people. That is why I support Trump and have from the start.
